I have way too many bikes, otherwise I'd pick one up. The drivetrain specs are a little meh but I'm sure they work fine and can pretty easily be upgraded.
For those of you familiar with the Intense brand, you might be asking what these 951 models are---apparently they're special makeups for Costco but the same frames as Intense's retail models. Here's what I found online:
The 120mm-travel 951 XC has the same frame as the Intense Sniper T.
The 951 Trail is based on the Intense Primer 29 and has the exact same 140mm-travel frame.
Clearance for much larger tires, generally up at least 45mm wide, as compared to road bikes, which used to top out at 28mm wide, now 32mm-ish. Some gravel bikes will clear 50-60mm tires, which puts you squarely in the narrow end of mountain bike tires. This is the biggest differentiator in the road/gravel divide.
Gravel bikes generally have a wider overall gear range than road bikes, as there is the expectation you'll be headed off-road. Generally there are lower "low" gears on a gravel bike for riding dirt and sketchy climbs.
Gravel bikes tend to have slightly more relaxed frame angles (we call it "geometry") for a less aggressive riding position than road bikes. There are gravel bikes with racier fits like road bikes, but they are in the minority. Most modern gravel bikes fit like a cross between a road bike and a late 00's MTB.
Gravel bikes have frame specifically designed to handle the abuse of being ridden off road. Some are more overbuilt than others, but all of them are designed to handle what people would consider easy MTB trails.
Those are the big differences. You can absolutely put slick/skinnier tires on a gravel bike and ride it on the road. It will just be a touch slower than a dedicated road bike. If you were on the fence about pure road vs. gravel, I'd side with gravel at this time as it's much more versatile with only minor penalties to speed.

The red flyer in the box says to call Intense for returns.
But the 2x gravel bike I plan to return is brand new, never ridden, and just opened the box.
After buying, I feel the size the recommended (large) will be too small mostly in the reach area, as I'm not 100% satisfied I let everyone know how the return goes this weekend.

Just a thought..... If it's close. A longer stem and/or different bars would be much cheaper than trying to find the goldilocks bike. According to the specs, the MD/LG has a 90mm stem, you could easily put on a 100-110 which is a huge difference. I understand the importance of overall fit and size, specially when grinding out loooong days. Finding a goldilocks "everything is perfect" prebuilt bike is like winning the powerball. Could be crank length, stem, the handlebar flare or shape, the gearing etc... In the example bike here for me personally on a gravel bike, I typically do a "large" size but there is a 100% chance I'd swap out the cranks for a 165 which almost no one offers on new bike (that trend seems to be slowly changing).
